LIU SHENG YU : TOWARDS A NEW CULTURAL APPROACH: YUNNAN PROVINCIAL MUSEUM THESIS ADVISOR : SUPOT CHITTASUTTHIYAN, Ph.D. Abstract: As a repository, museum collects the memories, the glories, the identities and the value of generations, communities and countries, which has witnessed the ups and downs of human beings for several centuries, and as a culture institution, museum is responsible for spreading the culture and keeping the culture heritage forward to the future and the future generations, which are the missions of museum. Over the past decades, changes in cultural heritage field and museum circle as well are beyond description, and the dynamic weather in culture field day and night also drives shifts of museums. Meanwhile, the recognition of people and citizens to know their cultures and to seek their identities as well boosts the evolutions in culture heritage field, where “people” is becoming an influential factor in culture industry and museum management. In addition, globalization situation in a way quickens the changes in this filed which results in rethinking the culture conservation, culture spreading, culture model and sustainable culture development, and in exploring innovation and fresh air in both culture heritage and museum circle. Thus, the museum currently is not anymore a repository with single function, but is given more and more meanings and functions which could be an entertained place for both children and adults, could be a coffee bar to relax and to gather for families and friends, and also could be an educational institution. When it comes to Yunnan Provincial Museum, it also has experienced the shifts and ups and downs in the dynamic situation, and has been exploring its new cultural approach with its new look since the relocation and renovation in 2015. This paper is going to study the existing Yunnan Provincial Museum focusing on its management aspect and providing the background information of Yunnan Provincial Museum, coupled with local culture to present a comprehensive national museum in Yunnan province, then based on the study to analyze the SWOT of Yunnan Provincial Museum through which is going to propose possible and practical proposals for the museum to improve the management and to enhance the connection with local community and culture.

The four limbs are relatively short. A cladistic analysis shows that the new materials represent a muntjak that is not in a sister-group relationship with Muntiacus leilaoensis from Yuanmou Late Miocene hominoid site, but rather represents an independent branch. Muntiacus zhaotongensis sp. nov. is proposed for the new muntjak materials.

    THE HISTORY OF GYALTHANG UNDER CHINESE RULE: MEMORY, IDENTITY, AND CONTESTED CONTROL IN A TIBETAN REGION OF NORTHWEST YUNNAN Dá!a Pejchar Mortensen A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History.

ABSTRACT Dá!a Pejchar Mortensen: The History of Gyalthang Under Chinese Rule: Memory, Identity, and Contested Control in a Tibetan Region of Northwest Yunnan (Under the direction of Michael Tsin) This dissertation analyzes how the Chinese Communist Party attempted to politically, economically, and culturally integrate Gyalthang (Zhongdian/Shangri-la), a predominately ethnically Tibetan county in Yunnan Province, into the People’s Republic of China. Drawing from county and prefectural gazetteers, unpublished Party histories of the area, and interviews conducted with Gyalthang residents, this study argues that Tibetans participated in Communist Party campaigns in Gyalthang in the 1950s and 1960s for a variety of ideological, social, and personal reasons. The ways that Tibetans responded to revolutionary activists’ calls for political action shed light on the difficult decisions they made under particularly complex and coercive conditions. Political calculations, revolutionary ideology, youthful enthusiasm, fear, and mob mentality all played roles in motivating Tibetan participants in Mao-era campaigns. The diversity of these Tibetan experiences and the extent of local involvement in state-sponsored attacks on religious leaders and institutions in Gyalthang during the Cultural Revolution have been largely left out of the historiographical record.

    Forming the Gejiu Tin Industry and the French Yunnan Railway, 1910-1937

    Subverting the French Stranglehold: Miao Yuntai, re- forming the Gejiu tin industry and the French Yunnan Railway, 1910-1937 Thomas E. McGrath During the late nineteenth century, France carved out a colonial empire in Southeast Asia creating French Indochina. Then, French po- litical and commercial interests undertook the formidable task of building the Yunnan Railway to link their colony with South China. These French interests envisioned the Yunnan Railway as the premiere mechanism in the economic penetration and political domination of Yunnan province. The lucrative Gejiu tin mines, located near the French Indochina border in southeastern Yunnan, were of particular economic interest to foreign and provincial authorities. Railway company officials, French colonial officials and banks all believed that they could derive a considerable profit from dominating the tin trade, which had historically passed along a river route through Vietnam. For the first several decades of operations, French co- lonial officials, railway authorities and banking interests placed a strangle- hold on the tin trade via this international artery. In the 1930s, however, the provincial militarist governor Long Yun, through his economic advisor Miao Yuntai, would succeed in partially subverting French control over the tin trade and turn this powerful engine of foreign imperialism to serve the needs of provincial militarism. The Gejiu tin mining region, only 25 miles from the railway line, was a focal point for provincial and foreign economic competition. The Gejiu tin mines were the most valuable, legitimate economic resource in the prov- ince during the 1920s and 1930s and the most productive tin mining opera- tion anywhere in China.1 Yunnanese and French political and commercial interests intensified their struggle for control of the tin trade as exports increased due to proximity to the railway.

    International Conference on Social Science, Education Management and Sports Education (SSEMSE 2015) Investigating Cultural Macroevolution through Biological Phylogenetic Analyses of Chinese Dai People Costumes Pattern Yunfeng Zhang School of Life Science, Yunnan Normal University, Kunming650500, Yunnan, PRC Yang Zhang School of Tourism and Geographic Science, Yunnan Normal University, Kunming650500, Yunnan, PRC Mingzhu Yang Institute of Folk art, Yunnan art University, Kunming650500, Yunnan, PRC ABSTRACT: What are the driving forces for cultural macroevolution has engaged anthropologists for more than a century. Recently, the debate on the evolution of culture has focused on two processes in particular, phylogenesis and ethnogenesis, and has been suggested that the latter has probably always been more significant than the former. Cladistic methods of phylogenetic reconstruction was used to assess a data set consist of 119 costume motifs derived from costumes pattern and decorative characters from some groups of Dai people and its accompanying group of Yi and Hani people in Yunnan, China. The results indicate that phylogenesis was the dominant process in the culture evolution of costumes pattern and decorative characteristics of Dai people, accounting for about 60% of the resemblances among the Dai people costumes pattern. These results do not support the proposition that ethnogenesis has always been a more significant process in cultural evolution than phylogenesis.

    BLACKWELL STUDIES IN GLOBAL ARCHAEOLOGY archaeology of asia Edited by Miriam T. Stark Archaeology of Asia BLACKWELL STUDIES IN GLOBAL ARCHAEOLOGY Series Editors: Lynn Meskell and Rosemary A. Joyce Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology is a series of contemporary texts, each care- fully designed to meet the needs of archaeology instructors and students seeking volumes that treat key regional and thematic areas of archaeological study. Each volume in the series, compiled by its own editor, includes 12–15 newly commis- sioned articles by top scholars within the volume’s thematic, regional, or temporal area of focus. What sets the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology apart from other available texts is that their approach is accessible, yet does not sacrifice theoretical sophistication. The series editors are committed to the idea that usable teaching texts need not lack ambition. To the contrary, the Blackwell Studies in Global Archaeology aim to immerse readers in fundamental archaeological ideas and concepts, but also to illu- minate more advanced concepts, thereby exposing readers to some of the most exciting contemporary developments in the field. Inasmuch, these volumes are designed not only as classic texts, but as guides to the vital and exciting nature of archaeology as a discipline. 1.

    The Transformation of Yunnan in Ming China From the Dali Kingdom to Imperial Province Edited by Christian Daniels and Jianxiong Ma First published 2020 ISBN: 978-0-367-35336-0 (hbk) ISBN: 978-0-429-33078-0 (ebk) 1 Salt, grain and the change of deities in early Ming western Yunnan Zhao Min (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) Funder: Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 1 Salt, grain and the change of deities in early Ming western Yunnan Zhao Min Introduction The Ming conquest of 1382 marked the beginning of the transformation of local society in Yunnan. The Mongol-Yuan relied heavily on the Duan 段, descendants of the royal family of the Dali kingdom (937–1253), to administrate local society in western Yunnan. The first Ming Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, continued many Mon- gol-Yuan administrative policies in Yunnan. His practice of appointing local ethnic leaders as native officialstuguan ( 土官) to administer ethnic populations is well known. In addition, he implemented novel measures that became catalysts for change at the level of local society. One such case was the establishment of Guards and Battalions (weisuo 衛所) to control local society and to prevent unrest by indi- genous peoples, particularly those inhabiting the borders with Southeast Asia. The Mongol-Yuan had also stationed troops in Yunnan. However, the Ming innovated by establishing a system for delivering grain to the troops. The early Ming state solved the problem of provisioning the Guards and the Battalions in border areas through two methods. The first was to set up military colonies tuntian( 屯田), while demobilising seven out of every ten soldiers to grow food for the army.
